Having served as chairman of Aurivo for over four years, I have decided to take the opportunity to step back from what has been a demanding but very rewarding role.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors for their support over the years, and indeed the management team of Aurivo, very capably led by Donal Tierney.”
Chief executive of Aurivo, Donal Tierney said: “Pat has been a strong and committed chairman of Aurivo.
He has worked tirelessly to oversee exceptional growth for the business and his legacy sees a stronger more sustainable Aurivo delivering for all our stakeholders.
“On behalf of the business I thank Pat for his enormous contribution to Aurivo and wish him the very best for the future,” Tierney concuded.
